Advanced user of Altova MapForceAltova Mapforce has various builtin functions which make your life easier.
The drag and map functions is the best part of the tool. Talking about how we use it, it makes testing very easy for us as the mapper can access our cross-ref tables also.
I have worked on a lot of mapping tools earlier, but never have I came across a tool which can use the cross-ref tables in the desktop testing.
One always has to go into a testing environment or production where he/she can actually see the tables working.
Another important aspect is the help file. One of the best helps for any tool. It has helped me a lot as well as my customers. The help covers all questions.
Making the X12 config files accessible is also an added advantage that Altova has put in.
I can create another group of X12 files from these files as per my need.
The only shortcoming which I found is the aesthetic. The mapping lines in the screen sometimes make it quite confusing to find the source and destination.
You can blindly go for it.
I am saying this with an experience of 6+ years in the EDI industry and having worked on several mapping tools.
You can be assured ease of mapping and the best help.
We have many customers who are distributors. We have given them Altova Mapforce as an option for mapping apart from our proprietary tool. We have our ERP setup to accept files created from our own tool as well as Mapforce.
In recent times I have seen many of our customers migrating from our tool to Altova because of the ease of mapping and the exceptionally well written and maintained help file.
